I was working a corporate job for years and it always felt restrictive, it felt like I was doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing.

I want to be recognized but I don't seek it out.

Even though I wasn't making a lot of money I was enjoying what I was doing.

I started out doing everything on a custom scale and when that started paying the bills I started making more pieces.

I didn't go to school for fashion, I didn't have anybody to teach me anything about fashion - that's all I knew how to do, graphic design.

I was at work but my soul wasn't there, my body was there but I wasn't connecting to what I was doing. Eventually I decided to get out of there and do something I believe in.

I started designing and getting into cutting and sewing, I also started learning how to do patterns and tech packs. From there I transitioned from challenging myself to make T-shirts to starting to make custom pieces for celebrities.
